A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension, but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.

A perverse person spreads dissension, and a gossip separates the closest friends.

Starting a quarrel is like letting out water; stop it before strife breaks out!

Drive out the scorner and contention will leave; strife and insults will cease.

Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.

The greedy person stirs up dissension, but the one who trusts in the Lord will prosper.

An angry person stirs up dissension, and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression.
